My localized domains are not getting any love or juice it seems?
-
Not sure what best practices are, but I have my main domain, a .com and my localized domains, .com.sg and .co.id. As you can see from the screenshot from opensite explorer, i am not getting any linkjuice from my .com domain to my other local domains - what am i doing wrong here?
-
I suggest you should go with Jane's suggestion. create folders. Subdomains are actually seen as different sites. Will not carry the domain authority of the parent site.

Hi again,
This is definitely an option - you would probably be best to consider www.name.com/sg/, www.name.com/id/ instead of subfolders however, because subfolders can often be treated like separate sites, just like totally separate domains are. Subfolders tend to inherit much more of the authority of the parent site.
This is something to consider, especially if there is no good reason (like regulations in different countries or local markets with people who particularly like domains targeting them personally) for them to remain separate.

The content is actually different.
-
First question is why do have multiple domains? I assume that the content is same.
-
What about the option of merging my domains to subdomains? ie co.id becomes id.NAME.com?
Isn't this an option?
-
I will suggest to gather links from authoritive sites and also increase your width of linking domains. means you need to get good links from various types of sites related to your site's business. Increase unique linking back domain count.
Are these different domains are having same content in different languages or for different geographical audiences?

Hi Jane,
Thanks! Would you recommend that i combine all of my domains into the main .com one instead? Since it seems that google/moz is treating my localized domains as separate sites altogether, it seems that it would be wiser to just move the locality into the .com domain, ie sg.NAME.com instead of NAME.com.sg? or how about NAME.com/sg/ ? Is this a good way to do it?

Hi,
It looks like your .co.in and .com.sg domains have only two linking C-blocks, meaning that there are only two physical places (servers) on the internet that link to them. I am guessing that those two locations are your other domains.
In order for a site to accumulate authority, it needs to be linked to from a range of other websites, not just one or two. I believe this will be why Moz has calculated those domains as having very weak profiles. In contrast, 284 c-classes (unique servers, basically) are linking to your .com. I imagine these links come from a variety of sources in a variety of places and include sites owned by a very large number of different people. You need to build out the other domains' link profile as well, gaining links from a similar variety of sources. Then the sites' metrics (mozrank, moztrust etc.) will rise as well.

Changing domain from .net to .se
Hi Guys, We have someone in the process of changing our domain from an 11 year old domain to a newer country domain of .se, He is not a web expert although he knows a lot of things. I am just wondering is there a checklist anywhere of things that are very important here that we should be aware of or he should be implementing so we can just double check that he is/ we are moving in the correct direction. Thank you for your Help. Rootin and Tootin xx

High Page Authority / Low Domain Authority
I have been building links to the home page of my web site. At this point, the site has a DA of 22 and the home page has a PA of 35. I am a bit puzzled as to how the PA can be so much higher than DA. I suppose it might have something to do with the fact that most of the inbound links are going to the home page. Are there any other factors that might be contributing to this situation? Does it point to a weakness in our backlink profile?

Seeing steady drop in Domain Authority?
Hi! I'm working with a client that has seen a steady drop in their domain authority over the past year and a half. They were at 75 in October '13 and now they're down to 67. The drop seems rather steady over this time, no big dip. They've actually worked their crawl errors during this time and have reduced a ton of them. I can't figure out why this metric would be dropping. Anyone know of something measurable I can look at to help pinpoint the problem (and of course actions to fix it)? Thanks so much!

Getting a URL Unaccessible on the page grader
I'm optimizing a site for a financial advisor, here is the site: http://www.mattkeenancfp.com I am getting the message "that URL is unaccessible" when I try to use the on-page grader. This is an emerald website too, I'm not sure if that has any effect on anything though.

How to Stop SEOMOZ from Crawling a Sub-domain without redoing the whole campaign?
I am using SEOMOZ for a client to track their website's performance and fix any errors and issues. A few weeks ago, they created a sub-domain (sub.example.com) to create a niche website for some of their specialized content. However, when SEOMOZ re-crawled the main domain (example.com), it also reported the errors for the subdomain. Is there any way to stop SEOMOZ from crawling the subdomain and only crawl the main domain? I know that can be done by starting a new campaign, but is there any way to work around an existing campaign? I'm asking because we would like to avoid the setting up the campaign again and losing the historical data as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

TLD vs Sub Domain in Regards to Domain Authority
I have always been under the impression that top level (or root) domains can hold different domain authority than that of a sub domain. Meaning that sub domain's and TLD can hold different ranks and strength in search engine result pages. Is this a correct or just an assumption? If so when i add a root domain and subdomain into the campaign manager i get back the same link information and domain authority? www.datalogic.com

The value of .uk.com domains
It was a long night last night (working, not playing), therefore forgive the potential stupidness of this question... Running an OSE report on a website earlier their top linking domain was *.uk.com. This is a valid TLD, and I know for sure that the website has not acquired links direct from the uk.com website but from some-other-registered-domain.uk.com. What I am asking is does the Moz Calculation and/or the pagerank calculation give more value to these links? *.uk.com has a Domain Authority of 71 and 156,497 linking root domains. If so i'm gonna go buy me a bunch of .uk.com domains..... Opinions please.
